    Hello bigduke6,

    it's a nasty old world out there. There's so many Japaneseicon type 95 swords that are fake.

    I've just let my FAC expire and my No4 Mk1T is with an RFD for sale, my son has my shotguns. One is a Damascus hammer gun, it's in very good condition, the bores are beautiful and it's been nitro proofed. Not like the one I used on the farm, pitted to hell and had to be locked with a hand inserted pin (through-bolt). The pin was attached to the trigger guard with a piece of snare wire! It was Damascus too with the same cross-bolt breech. My current hammer gun is pre 1904, it carries the old black powder proof mark, it's probably mid 1890's.

    You don't happen to be a radio amateur do you, being into old radios?

    Ian

    Ian, I don't class myself as a radio ham, but more a Military Radio Enthusiast who is licensed ...... I've bought a Ligtweight FFR Landrover (1973) , So intend to kit it it out with either Clansman Readio or Larkspur, Have got all the family of Clansman and have started to acquire the Larkspur set ups.
